Light: The Crassula Capitella ‘Campfire’ thrives in bright light to full sun, requiring at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight daily. Sunlight intensifies the vibrant red/orange color on its leaves. In low light conditions, the leaves may remain green, and the plant’s growth can become leggy. Ensure optimal light exposure to maintain its stunning coloration and compact growth habit.

Soil and Watering: Proper soil and watering are crucial for the health of your ‘Campfire’ succulent. Use a well-draining soil mix, such as a cactus or succulent potting mix. Adding perlite or coarse sand enhances drainage, preventing waterlogging. Water thoroughly but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Typically, watering every 1-2 weeks during the growing season and less frequently in winter is ideal. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so always err on the side of dryness.

Temperature and Maintenance: The Crassula Capitella ‘Campfire’ prefers temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C to 27°C). Protect it from frost, as temperatures below 40°F (4°C) can damage the plant. It thrives in average indoor humidity levels, making it a low-maintenance choice for indoor environments. Prune the plant to maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Regularly remove any dead or damaged leaves to keep it looking its best.

Propagation and Fertilization: Propagating the ‘Campfire’ succulent is easy through stem cuttings. Simply cut a healthy stem, let it dry for a day to callous, and then plant it in well-draining soil. Roots typically develop in 2-3 weeks. Fertilize monthly during the spring and summer with a diluted succulent fertilizer to support healthy growth. Avoid fertilizing in the fall and winter months when the plant’s growth slows.
